Friends Kitchen Restaurant — Restaurant in Puketāpapa

if i can give a -, id give a -5 star. i placed my order on their website on the 5 of may, 2019. i have double checked the opening business hour to ensure they still open for a late lunch. after 10 mins placed my order on line, i drove to the shop to pick up my lunch. when i arrived, the door already closed for business, i arrived before 2pm, and they website states open til to 2:30. so i rang, the owner picked up the phone, he and she told me they never cook my order! they asked me to wait for 30 mints to get my order, and blam on me that i should call them to tell them that i place my order on THEIR OWN WEB SITE! therefore it is my fault not to call them to let them know that i have placed an order? when i asked for my money back, they refused, and told me to talk to Palpal which was the method i used to pay online. i contact paypal to get my refund, and guess what, it has been three weeks with no action at all. Palpal told me that they have contacted the seller, which is the shop owner i assume, and thye ignore paypal, and decided not to refund my moeny at all! i have paid $22 get nothing, well, i got full of anger! this is a disgusting place, i would never come again ever, and i suggest customer as you, should walk away from this sort of owner, they do not deserve to own and run a business if they deciede to treat a customer like a dirt! i would not write a bad review just because they missed out my order, but how they treated me and ignore my request, i do not settle with this! you may take my $22 and thought have a moment, i will levea my story on your review to let all customers know what a terrible...

Go Indian Cuisine serves, without a doubt, the best Indian food in all of Auckland. It is flavourful, nicely presented and very cheap considering the portions.

However, the main attraction, of course, is the infamously revered chef - the assured Raj Kapoor of Kiwi-Indian cuisine, only matched closely by the likes of Khanna or Bhatia.

This incredibly wise, considerate and honourable man is out here keeping it real with ya'll, maintaining them visionary nouvelle Satantango vibes in the restaurant hard, 24/7, seven days a week.

Speaking of time, dudes also on the grind, clocking till 2:00am every morning to keep the wife and kids fed, happy and opulent, all the while singlehandedly holding the cookery frontlines since Covid austerity battered his fine establishment in 2020; so everyone ought to be out here showing some respect for this bloke or be prepared to meet the wrath of Ravana by their night.

Will be visiting this gourmet dining culinary delight plenty more to come. I suggest all check it out...

Food 7/10 Service 1/10

Im rating this after ordering a number of dinner deals on many occasions throughout this year and very recently which was on 20/12/20 at 21:48.

I have always tried to order the dinner special which they have advertised on their menu, which says it’s available from 5pm - 10pm everyday and all mains included except for seafood.

Including last night the owners response to my order was that i have come after the dinner special time period. It was till 21:30 last night and i was told only chicken dishes are included in the din special when they have clearly advertised differently on google and outside the restaurant where they have covered up the timings but i guess they forgot to cover up “all mains except seafood”.

This has been the case on many occasions and each time the owners timing of special deals were different from the previous instances.

I believe they have potential but definitely need to improve their...
